A FAST MOVING AREA OF LOW PRESSURE IS FORECAST TO PASS SOUTH OF KENTUCKY DURING THE DAY ON WEDNESDAY. AS THIS SYSTEM APPROACHES THE REGION TONIGHT...IT WILL BRING PRECIPITATION IN THE FORM OF MAINLY RAIN TO THE REGION LATE TONIGHT AND DURING THE MORNING HOURS ON WEDNESDAY. DURING THE LATE MORNING AND EARLY AFTERNOON HOURS...COLDER AIR FILTERING IN FROM THE NORTH WILL RESULT IN THE RAIN CHANGING TO SNOW ACROSS PORTIONS OF CENTRAL KENTUCKY. AT THIS TIME, THE BEST CHANCES FOR THE RAIN CHANGING OVER TO SNOW WILL BE IN THAT PART OF KENTUCKY SOUTH OF THE BLUEGRASS PARKWAY AND EAST OF INTERSTATE 65. DEPENDING ON THE INTENSITY OF PRECIPITATION DURING THE LATE MORNING AND EARLY AFTERNOON...SOME ACCUMULATION OF SNOW WILL BE POSSIBLE. AT THIS TIME...IT APPEARS THAT AN INCH OR LESS OF SLUSHY SNOW WILL BE POSSIBLE BEFORE PRECIPITATION ENDS WEDNESDAY EVENING. RELATIVELY WARM ROAD AND NEAR SURFACE TEMPERATURES ABOVE FREEZING WILL LIKELY LIMIT SNOW ACCUMULATION ON AREA ROADWAYS. HOWEVER...IN AREAS WHERE HEAVIER SNOW SHOWERS DEVELOP...A QUICK SLUSHY ACCUMULATION MAY OCCUR. MOTORISTS SHOULD BE PREPARED FOR POSSIBLE TRAVEL DELAYS WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. STAY TUNED TO NOAA ALL HAZARDS WEATHER RADIO AND YOUR LOCAL MEDIA FOR THE LATEST INFORMATION ON THIS WEATHER SITUATION. $ MJ
